From the back cover of the book:
Rail travel in the USA is the ultimate in luxury: comfortable, fast and
quiet, with glass-domed trains to lure the traveller attracted by the
grandeur of the Rockies and the sheer vastness of the great plains. While
Amtrak takes the laurels for speed and efficiency, in scenic areas there
are still steam trains to be found, privately financed and inexorably
romantic.
